Summary

The MTS-3060 represents the next generation in O-level, armament test - offering better operational test capabilities, flexibility, and value. With today’s shrinking budgets, the ability to test more, troubleshoot better, and simplify the test process plays a significant role in maintaining fleet readiness within a limited budget. Offering a wide range of test capabilities, the SmartCan can provide support for both current and future generation weapons systems.

This paper provides an overview of the MTS-3060 SmartCan™ which offers next generation, O-level test capabilities for alternate mission equipment (AME) and other aircraft systems. Delivering new and advanced flightline test capabilities, it supports the testing of suspension and AME systems including pylons, launchers, bomb racks, and pods. The MTS-3060 SmartCan™ is a high-performance hand-held device with the shape of a "beercan", and provides advanced test capabilities that are unavailable in other O-level test products. Unlike any other beercan testers, the MTS-3060 provides measurement, loading and stimuli functions that are typically only associated with large O-level testers, such as the SERD-75501. With multiple measurement and load channels, dedicated and continuous squib circuit monitoring, audio and video simulation, and MIL-STD-1760 support, the MTS-3060 SmartCan™ can support a range of aircraft platforms including the F-15, F-16, TA-50, F-5, and F-22 as well as any "smart" or legacy armament system.
